Koei Tecmo pitched the idea to Nintendo in early 2016, according to Laura’s sources. It is unclear if the title was pitched for Wii U or Switch, but what we do know is that Nintendo rejected the idea, citing “questions regarding the future of the brand”.

Star Fox Warriors would have featured “largely melee combat between characters of the Star Fox universe alongside some dogfighting gameplay”.

Tecmo Koei wanted to make a game without motion controls that would alternate between ground and space combat.

Laura also stated that “Koei Tecmo still want to work on a Nintendo franchise Warriors title“ and that “Nintendo are still open to working on such a project”.
